BJP vs Congress over Poonch terror attack; Amethi vandalism; more

Former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and Rashtriya Janata Dal's Tej Pratap Yadav sparked controversy for their remarks calling Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch attack "pre-planned".

Channi accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of plotting such stunts in order to win the elections. He went on to dub it as "stuntbaazi."

Meanwhile, Union Minister Anurag Thakur slammed Channi over his "ridiculous" remarks and demanded an apology from the Congress party.
